The Falling of Sodom And Gomorrah

Abraham was pleading with God to save Sodom and Gomorrah. That time, the sin of this place is grievous which makes the God of heaven angry before them. Abraham bargained with God, “if there be 50 righteous people found in Sodom, will you destroy the place?” and then 40 then 30, then 20, then 10. God will spare the city of Sodom for the sake of 10 righteous people. But God has not seen righteous people except Lot and his wife and 2 daughters.

The problem with Sodom is, it is extremely a bad city. Sexual violence is rampant. The people of Sodom according to Ezekiel 16 are arrogant and unconcerned, who does not care for the poor and needy.

God’s patience for them had finally run out. The Lord rained down burning sulphur on Sodom and Gomorah.

Mount Sodom – a mountain of crystalline salt, 5 miles long and 300 feet high along the south western shore near it. But the rains of Sodom are nowhere to be found.

Sodom earned his terrible judgement because of human sins.

What Must I Do

A jail warden asks Paul and Silas “Sirs, what must I do to be saved”? Most of the people today have a big question in their minds. “Am I going to heaven or am I going to hell?” When I die, where should I go? Or is there such a place called heaven. Simply because they do not know the answer.

Paul and Silas answered the prison keeper “believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved...” to man this is impossible but with God all things are possible. They are not saved because they do not believe.


The main purpose why Jesus came is to see and save that which was lost. He is not willing to lost people in hell but that all should come to repentance. The shedding of Jesus blood in the cross is for the remission of our sins. Salvation comes to those who are willing to accept and make Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives. Secondly acknowledge that you are a sinner, thirdly have faith in God.
